Seminar This Week on Internet Research in Wisconsin

Repost / Reminder: If you are looking to brush up your Web-based legal research skills this summer, you might want to consider attending a one day seminar entitled, Internet Research in Wisconsin. The seminar, put on by Lorman Education Services, will be held in Brookfield on August 16th & again in Madison on August 17th. I’ll be presenting at both seminars along with my colleague, Bev Butula of Davis & Kuelthau, S.C. in Milwaukee. Here’s the blurb about the course from Lorman: This course will introduce attendees to online legal research, improve their searching efficiency by developing better strategies and create a list of reliable online resources. The sessions will promote cost-effective searching and offer a look at the most current approaches to capitalizing on information available via the Internet. Seminar highlights: * Searching smarter – source selection and search strategies * Search engines and meta engines * The invisible Web * Legal search engines and portals * Primary law sources on the internet * Investigating individuals * Company research * The new kids on the Web – blogs, RSS, alerts and podcasts
